lxer.com— Very funny article by a Dutchman on an US Linux News site. It's got two parts - a serious one where he imagines someone who only used Gentoo tries to help Windows users. The second is just plain funny.

Very funny. Someone should clean it up a bit though. Very poor grammar and spelling.He's European and English is a second language. Gotta let that accent through.
Any XP users want to write the reply? You know, XP user attempting to setup Linux?Let us all convert to UNIX-based systems, for then the world will be a more stable place.
"Some dumb f**k can't install Windows in an hour like any moron can so he blames in on Microsoft and thisis funny? And someone complaining about paying for a product is funny?"Maybe you missed the last couple years of windows users saying the same things.
VirusesSpywareRegistry ProblemsWhat a joke of a system.Back up your data from your Microsoft OS drive and download and install Mandriva 2006 and get on with your life.FirefoxOpenOfficeThunderbirdEclipseMicrosoft OSes are technological dead ends. Open source unix implementations like Linux are the future of computing systems. Switch now. Or switch later.
I'm a recent convert from Windows to Mac, and the problems with spyware only affect the general populous at large, not the smart and suave surfers.Therein lies the problem. If you're going to reach out to the masses, take some precautions to shield the masses. All my friends with their spyware problems could be fixed if they converted to Mac.Then again, they could stop being stupid, but we all know that won't happen.
